Pets - 11 July 2006

I just got an 11 month old border collie/german shepherd mix. We took him to the dog park for the first time, and he got into a couple fights, so we had to keep him on a leash. I don't want to keep him on a leash every time we go, especially because we have another dog who runs free. How can we stop his agressive behavior?

I live near the woods and have seen small foxes. My dogs (10 and 13 lbs.) are in a fenced area by my house. I am worried about the foxes.

I have two cats and have bought many many venitian blinds and everytime my cats seem to chew them up until they are hanging on by a string. I was wondering if there are any kind of miniblinds for windows out there that they will not tear up?

I'm positive that my dog is completely normal, however I can't tell if he is insistanting that he is being emotional over something. He is trained not to bark, but of course, no dog is perfect, he barks at visitors and passerbys by our house. He is terrified of loud fireworks, and that is obvious, hiding in corners whenever there is loud fireworks outside. But how can I tell what he likes or doesn't like I want to know of the thigs that are not so obvious? He's willing to eat anything you put in front of his face. I'm not an idiot, so I know if he will like cow or beef hides and such.

I think dogs are dogs, all animals are just animals! Why should they be thought of as humans?? They are treated very well, groomed, bathed, well fed, lots of attention..what more does he want???

My dog will not stop vomiting (it's yellowish in color) and he has diarreah really bad. It started while I was at work today. I did notice him acting really weird last night though, laying right next me the entire night, not playing or eating. I have cooked some plain white rice and tried giving him more water. He will not touch either of them. He keeps wanting outside so when I let him out he finds a spot to 'go' (number2) and tries but nothing is coming out. His stomach does appear to be hard. I have not changed his diet nor anything else in his routine, however, he did go to the vet 2 days ago for his distemperment shot. Surely the shot isn't making him do this, it didn't make him sick the last time he got his shots. Can I give him any pain relievers, what kind? how many miligrams? Oh and he will not stop panting, does he have a temp? How can I check that? Help!?!

She is about 15 lbs and is light brown and black. Her nose is pushed in and it is black all around the mouth and nose. The rest of her body is brown. She is about 1 foot tall. Her tail curled up like a pug's tail. I know it is not a pug though. I kind of looks like one, but with way longer fur. Her ears are floppy, but not long. Does anyone know what breed she is?

plain water just doesnt seem to do the trick for my 2 very active boxers. Even ice cubes dont help. Just wondering if gatorade was safe? I've seen a very expensive brand on the net, or if their was a more affordable brand that could be purchased at Petsmart or similar store.

Both female cats are fairly old (5&9), and we have introduced the younger one into the older one's house. They were aggressive the first few days, but then surprisingly they seemed to get along. They slept in the same room together, they barely fought, and they used only their own food dishes and litter boxes.

A few weeks have passed, and now they fight every morning. They now interchange litter boxes and they eat each other's food (though they both don't seem to mind this). They also drink out of the same water dish. The fights in the morning are very loud, with usually one cat approaching the other. The other will hiss, while the approaching one will remain calm. They will get closer and closer until they have an exchange of paws (both are declawed). Then one will leave and they'll do it again shortly. They both approach each other, but the smaller one backs down when approached and the other always stands her ground. Is this a problem? are they playing? They get along during theday
